Employment Practice Liability

With the emergence of EPL policies as a “stand alone” wording we have been consulted by over a half dozen national and foreign-based insurers to develop “made in Canada” EPL wording suitable for the reality of Canadian legal exposures as opposed to comparable developments in Great Britain and Canada.

In the “duty to defend” area we have been called upon by EPL insurers to deal with a wide range of discrimination, sexual abuse and wrongful dismissal cases to defend both the insured entity, senior management and employees. We operate “1-800” 24 hour call lines for the benefit of insureds to avoid having employment-related problems result in actual claims.
